About NutritionThreads
NutritionThreads was founded in January 2020 by a group of nutrition enthusiasts who wanted a dedicated space for evidence-based nutrition discussion. Frustrated by the misinformation, fad diet promotion, and supplement shilling that dominated social media, they created a forum where real people could have real conversations about food, health, and nutrition science.
What started as a small community of 12 members has grown into one of the internet's most trusted nutrition discussion platforms, with over 45,000 members sharing knowledge, asking questions, and supporting each other's health journeys.
Our Mission
Create a space for evidence-based nutrition discussion where people of all experience levels can learn, share, and grow — free from commercial influence and misinformation.
